Illuminated Codex by Jan van Eyck

2.41

"The Hours of Turin," a small illuminated manuscript, is housed in the Civic Museum of Ancient Art at Palazzo Madama in Turin. It was created for the court of the Duke of Berry between 1380 and 1424, with the participation of Jan van Eyck, the founder of Flemish painting. Belonging to Jean de Berry, it was divided into several parts; some folios are located in the Louvre and the Getty Museum. The text is in Latin and Gothic script on 28 parchment folios, each measuring 10x13 cm. The miniatures, depicting sacred scenes, feature a main representation, illuminated capital letters, and a lower scene iconographically connected. Folio 93v, attributed to van Eyck, shows the birth of Saint John the Baptist, highlighting realism in light, gestures, and objects.
